Newborn photos with dog

I’m so excited to share this sweet in-home newborn session in Saint Paul on today’s blog! This in-home newborn session with a dog was so much fun. Not only did I get to meet a wonderful, easygoing couple, but I got to capture them as first-time parents to a sweet baby girl. This morning session […]

For years, I always wanted to be a ‘reader’. But making the space and time to read wasn’t a big priority in my day. Finally, about five years ago, I set a goal to read 10 books in the year. I quickly surpassed my goal and started a small book club with some girlfriends, leading […]

These timeless in-home newborn photos are one I’ve been so excited to share. On a quiet and bright morning, I arrived at their south Minneapolis for this newborn session.

I will say it time and time again being welcomed into families homes is always an honor. Those first few days and weeks of welcoming a newborn are exhausting and such a learning curve. It is hard enough to get ready let alone leave the home. This is part of the reason I love lifestyle […]

It was so good to see the Bisek family once again and this time in their Prior Lake home! We came together to celebrate and capture their newest baby girl’s arrival. I couldn’t wait to meet sweet baby Charlie! I have known Eric since high school and met Katie when the two of them got […]

Watching and being able to celebrate a family grow is always so special. I met the Jeans family last summer for the first time and got to capture their big announcement of welcoming a little one. It was so special as it was fairly new news and I got to celebrate in this joy with […]

When talking to Stacy, before her in home lifestyle newborn session for her son Leo, she mentioned wanting to focus on him and his little features. She talked about how he has been a dream baby these first few weeks and really wanted to capture this special season with him. Arriving at their home on […]

When MaryKate reached out to me to capture their son Grady’s at home lifestyle newborn session in St.Louis Park, Minnesota, I was thrilled. Grady’s newborn session was so special because I have known his mom since the first grade! We both attended a small private school until 8th grade and then in high school we […]

This family of five is just the sweetest. I have been photographing the Maciejowski family, since their oldest was little!

In home sessions are one of my favorite ways to capture you and your new baby! These sessions are timeless, comfortable and simple. This allows for you to stay in the comfort of your own home and not worrying about packing up and leaving your home just days after welcoming your baby. My focus during […]

Baby Olivia’s, newborn session felt so magical as it happened two days before Christmas, on her dad’s birthday and on the day of a big snowstorm. We sat on the step of their sunroom cozied up watching the snowfall and taking in all of sweet Olivia’s features. Enjoy the simplicity and sweetness of this in-home […]

WAKE WINDOW Try to have your newborn have a little wake window before the session. In return they will hopefully be sleepy for their session. This will make it easier for putting them down for a few individual photos and being passed and forth between mom and dad. FEED BABY Right before the session feed […]

There are so many things you are thinking about and planning for as you prepare to welcome your baby into the world. It can be which type of car seat to purchase, where will the baby sleep and what kind of diapers do we consider? You may also be considering if you would like to […]
